I've shot their 40 gr solid standard velocity target ammo in .22LR in Sporterifle competition for several years. It's as good as any ammo I've used and that includes some brands that are more than twice the price of Aguila. Quiet and very accurate. It also does the job on woodchucks if you shoot the...

I have a very nicely refinished S42G that looks very similar to those rifles. It also has a bore that looks like a cheese grater. Pretty on the outside, it shoots well, but cleaning it is a weekend of labor.

A 1970 spam can at $29, adjusted for the change in the CPI would cost $159.50 today. Present 7.62X54R ammo cost is almost exactly the same price it was nearly 50 years ago. Back in 1970, I would have worked over 20 hrs to buy one can of ammo (working on a fishing boat, busting my butt). Today I can ...

Prices have gone up disproportionately on the lower priced models. Snipers still top out at around $1000, as they did 5 years ago. Spam can ammo seems abundant at about $150/440 rounds. Still relatively cheap.

How does it shoot? In my hands, with decaf, I can shoot just under MOA with just about any ammo. I can't do much better than that with any rifle, so lets say that the M41B does not detract from the best of my abilities. I think a better bench shooter would be required to determine it's full potenti...

I reblued the metal, refinished stock, and overhauled the optics to get it back to as-issued. I'd be drawn and quartered by some as a heretic for doing so, but I own the rifle. Doug Turnbull is just up the road from me, and when he does the same thing, someone writes an article about his having work...

Everybody who owns one likes the M96, and these are the best of the lot with a siderail scope. You'll like this one. Yes, they are accurate with the right handloads. Mine is also dead nuts accurate with 50-yr-old surplus and el cheapo Prvi, and everything else I've found.

Hmmm... I know I have one of those knocking around in one of my safes. I'll dig it out and post a pic when I get home. As I recall, it was an AA rework and was Parkerized. It looked new when I got it. Pleasant shooting little revolver. I shoot it like Luke Skywalker (use the force) because the sight...
